My First Video Editing Experience

" A good video can make all the difference."

       Months ago, our professor told us to prepare a short film as a pre-requisite in our subject. As a pharmacy student, we do not have any background in video editing and acting, unless we were a pro. The theme of the video must to demonstrate the proper way of interacting  with other professionals. And therefore, we came up with the idea of making four series of a short film with spoof commercials in between.

Here are the sample video:

       This video commercial is taken from a local Philippine ad known as "Pasiklaban", in regards to the promotional item of McDonald's. Well of course, I directed the scene with my classmates as actors.

       Another one is a parody of Mexican telenovela "Marimar" which shows an interaction between two pharmacist namely "Marimar and Sergio". The scene may not actually demonstrate the said topic but rather it is more of comedy.

Softwares which I think is beneficial in video editing:

1. Adobe Photoshop CS4/CS5
•  this enables you to edit your picture in different manners which  later can be incorporate to your video. Series cover can also be done using this software. (www.adobe.com)
2. Adobe Premiere CS4/CS5
• I used this as my main software in editing video. It includes almost everything you need in video making such as audio and  video effects, credits, a timeline, movie speed and audio editing (i.e. mute). 
• PROS: User friendly; Almost complete when it comes with its features; Affordable
• CONS: Needs a high computer specification
• Alternatives: Windows Movie Maker
3. Youtube Downloader
• Needed if you wish to add movie clips like 20th Century or Pixar Intro into your movie.

       Well these our the software I used in the preparation of our movie project. Hopefully, this would be helpful to you. I am looking forward to post more reviews and tutorial regarding this matter. Wished you had enjoy reading.
